St9bad_alloc error while running Ocean

kumarp

Hi,

I am running Ocean script from the unix terminal. I have several for loops inside so that I can perform multiple runs. If i have a loop that changes some variables (say from 1 to 1000), then after 300 runs, the script stops with "St9bad_alloc" error. How should I debug this?

 

Thanks,

Kumar

    Kumar,

    You probably should take note of the Forum Guidelines before posting, because otherwise I can only give a very general suggestion.

    It might be that you're running out of memory due to loading lots of simulation results - but I have no way of telling without seeing your OCEAN script and without knowing the version you're using. If you check the process to see if it's near the 32 bit limit (a bit less than 4Gbytes) in IC5141 - could be run 64 bit if in IC614 or later. It may be the problem goes away with a later hotfix or a later version - who knows? As I said, I'm having to guess.

    Perhaps if you provide this somebody else can answer (I'm away for a couple of weeks).

    Andrew.
